me too! I am looking at options,

I have done the 9.9 to 20 hp suzuki change. It was a 16ft aluminum setup like a bass boat. Remote steering and throttle. In NJ, almost all lakes are limited to 9.9HP if they allow gas at all. So buying a 20hp was not an option. The change required an ECM, a throttle plate and a new prop...

...with windless and full windshield. The Coastal obviously does not have a windless, but maybe I could live with a power pole and/or trolling motor. The 236 Fisherman has both, as does the 235 Freedom. We are basically empty nesters now, just cocktail cruising and sandbar hopping, maybe make...

Update: Even though i'm having a trolling motor with spot lock installed on it, I still would like to have ground tackle available. I'm going to put L shaped hooks on the front of the hardstop struts. I still have to do the math but it should hold a ton of half inch anchor line. It will lay...

It is usually better to get the more powerful motor and with highest voltage (36V) One 36V LiFePo battery is the way to go, less weight and longer lasting, 100Ah is usually plenty Integrating LiFePo in boats existing charging system can become complicated, if on a trailer just recharge at home a...

Wow, I guess nobody hear uses a trolling motor. Have you gotten anywhere> I am interested too.

I am currently to take the decision about what electric/trolling motor to install on my 2011 306 Canyon. As i have all Garmin electronics the choice for the Kraken is logic, but would have two caveats: a) longest shaft is 90" b) thrust is "only 100 lbs Installer who already started to plan...

I'm starting to think that I'll regret using ground tackle while offshore. I'm going. to have the ninety 96" Rhodan trolling motor installed over the winter. It just makes sense considering the amount of wreck hopping we also do. I have a trolling motor on my current 24' Sheaffer and I only used...

...deep dropping in the canyons here but thats a total PITA Because of the handling of 3-5000ft of rode and because if current or wind changes the boat changes position too much. Honestly i would invest in a trolling motor with spot lock feature and that is what i will do for next season. Chris

I have a new Gulfstream and am thinking about installing a trolling motor to hold the boat in place over wrecks. Anchoring is a pain and I don't want to lose an anchor and line. Has anyone installed a trolling motor on this model and if so where did you store the battery(s)? I am thinking...

I'll know mid-January when I'm in the water. Need to do some testing before committing.

my concern with the anti-ventilation plate mount would be bubbles. if that motor is running, it will be pushing bubbles through the exhaust and block your view. even if not running that motor, when trolling, you get a lot of turbulent swirling of water with bubbles right behind the boat i...

I got the Miller Tech Boost package which includes an onboard charger that I installed: https://millertechenergy.com/product/the-boost-package/ Very happy with the battery choice so far. I fretted about the amp hours but ultimately very happy with what I chose. It it more than sufficient for...

Thank you for sharing that info. There isn't a lot of information available with trolling motor installs in the 216. What did you have to do to bolt down the mounting plate? What batteries did you go with? Are they in the console?

The dry weight of the boat doesn't really mean anything to me at all as it's just adding up numbers and then guessing from there. The much closer number is going to be the weight of a test boat and then going from there with additional persons, gear and so forth. Obviously they're going to use...

Thanks for your note gw216. The Garmin Kraken is actually 75", not 72". It works great. I fished in some fairly choppy water and never actually lowered the motor all the way. If the water was so choppy that the prop came out of the water, I wouldn't want to be out there fishing. In my...

Hello, the boat and trolling motor install look great. I recently placed an order for a 216, and expect the boat to be delivered in a few more weeks. I want to install a trolling motor, as well. The local shop is recommending the 90" Kraken. Would you mind sharing with me how the 72" model has...

GoPro 7 Black doesn't like charging the battery in the waterproof case. Appears to overheat and shut down. Same problem with the newer cameras. Without the battery it will run all day. One of the mounts I'm considering is on the cavitation plate on one of the F150's. Not sure it's deep enough...

Put the Kraken 90" on my Freedom 235. Pic might give you some idea of how to mount one on a 257 with windlass.

Anybody install a trolling motor upfront on a 257 fisherman for anchoring or spot lock? What size is used on the 257? I have a windless so any help is much appreciated or pictures on how it was mounted. Any thoughts on the kraken?
